SIBI-P1 H3526-01
it was trample-washed
| Root | כבס (k-b-s) |
| Core Meanings | treading, trampling, washing by trampling, fulling cloth |
| Semantic Range | to be washed, to be laundered, to be cleansed (literally of garments), to be purified (figuratively), to undergo fulling or bleaching |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, כבס is frequently associated with ritual purification, especially the washing of garments to remove impurity. The imagery of trampling-wash underscores the thoroughness required for cleansing, reflecting broader theological themes of purification and restoration. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Pual (intensive passive) perfect, 3rd masculine singular. The Pual stem conveys that the subject receives the intensive action of washing/fullering. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כבס carries the concrete sense of washing by trampling or treading, especially in the fuller’s process. The Pual stem (passive intensive) in the perfect 3rd masculine singular indicates that the subject "it" (or "he," grammatically masculine) has undergone this thorough washing action, hence "it was trample-washed." |
